Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the ample storage capacity and ease of use of the My Book 3TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive. Its reliability and reasonable price point are also frequently praised, along with the convenient USB connection and relatively small size. While some users noted occasional noise and connection issues, the positive feedback on storage, ease of use, and reliability outweighs these concerns.

    Easy to set up but it read the instructions. Not that intuitive.

    Technically, the unit is great, but the instructions leave a lot to be desired. Requirement to reformat to allow for a System B/U not stated. Done easily, but had to go to customer service to get that info. Would recommend to a friend but would tell them that first.

    WD BOOK 3T forces the bios to startup from External Drive and thus DELL computer does not startup. Unplug it and PC starts up perfectly. WD is no help in resolved. Frustrated. George

    There is not fancy about this hard drive. It's basic and straight forward. This HDD would perfect for most people. my unit was a faulty one, luckily I had geek squad protection for it.

    External Drive Problem

    This is probably a very good external hard drive, but for some reason was not compatible with my computer. Had to return it. This would probably work with a more up-to-date computer system.

    I need instructions and didn't find them. Got it all hooked up to computer and performed a back up. Now I plug the hard drive back in to computer and can't tell if I backed up my photos or not !

    I bought this as a backup, but I'm disappointed with the software. I've been waiting on tech support to try to resolve, but at this point I'm going to use a third-party backup software. If you're using the drive for storage, it is fast. But I would not count on the included software if you need it for a reliable backup system.

    I have a Mac and tried to get these two to "talk" to each other, carefully following instructions and at one point over the phone. Never could get it to do what it said it would do. Kept it too long and couldn't return it. Became a very expensive paperweight.
